    No arms available, however.

    I'll keep both of mine, thanks. Perhaps if I happened to lose all feeling, I'd lose 'my girl' (tmi ) for:

    Theocracy
    The Musical Box (preferably either a Foxtrot or Lamb show)
    Magic Pie

    Man, I wish it were top 10 (or at least 5)...

    Better save your arm my friend cause you're gonna be for a big disappointment.

    Unfortunately, I happened to see both acts live the last decade...

    no band is worth trading limbs for – one lesson learned in a long history of concert going.

    that said: seeing RUSH once more before they head for their über-deserved retirement.

    (i shall refrain from mentioning the classic CARDiACS line-up in this context because it is an unfair and inappropriate thing to say)

    Good man! I will however annoy you and turn you green with envy and tell you that I DID see them live shortly before they reduced to a 4 man band

    i have no reason at all to be annoyed because i did see the last ever london gig of the four-piece and that was/is more than i could bargain for. and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg, hehe.

    Good Afternoon Folks -

    Interesting Thread....Thought I'd chip in with my three!

    I need to get down lower New York way to take in the Ed Palermo Big band sometime. They've suited my current day listening likes in a big way.

    Dave Willey and a collaboration of some sort beyond TP and the Hamsters. One of my favorites in modern times.

    Someday - Just maybe I could meet Mr. Jeff Lynne and shake his hand. I've seen ELO many times in the 70's but would like to thank him for his part in my earlier musical world. When I first heard ELO, circa 1973/4, THEY were the connection that started it all for me.

    And Good Day Ian - Seems as if I nod my head in agreement with some of your tastes in music. I'm thinking that we've crossed paths somewhere??

    Carry On
    Chris Buckley

    Scott, It'll be hard to applaud.

    Chris, we have met at NF, ProgDay, Cuneifest or the like, good call on Dave Willey, 3 Mice or Ligeia Mare (sp?) would be awesome.

    And one more appendage, which should be good for maybe half a pick.
